Quite possibly the best tacos I have had in a very long time. Fernando started up his machine early just for me to get some food, charged me for 3 tacos, and I received 4. Great food, and very friendly service from Fernando. I even walked out with a free lollipop. Highly recommend, worth the fun stop!

I was recommended Fine Foods by Fernando by my philosophy professor, Devin Bray at Brightpoint Community College down the street. I walked into his classroom and smelled something delicious, so I asked him what he was eating. He told me there was a wonderful and affordable taco truck right down the road! I was on a bit of a budget, so this seemed right up my alley. After two classes I was starving so my mother and I stopped by Fernando's truck. I tried gorditas for the very first time. I am a picky eater, but I was feeling adventurous so I decided to try something new. I did not regret it! The gorditas were amazing, and since I told (who I assume was) Fernando I had never tried them before, he threw my gordita in for free! I loved the two different salsas included with the meal. I was told to be careful with the spice, but I ended up eating my gordita with the red sauce anyway. It was awesome! I've never had such a good spicy sauce before. My mother got a burrito norteño, and ended up splitting it with me since it was so filling. All in all, I think my mother and I (since she picks me up from school) will be loyal customers of Fernando's in the following months of the school year.

Fernando truly puts his heart into his food and his customers. He will always get you right and he is customer first oriented. I highly suggest you come here once, but be warned.. you will come back again.. and again.. A Chester staple 100%!!

Outstanding! I got an egg and bacon breakfast burrito with rice and beans in the morning and it was so good I went back. For dinner I got a chicken philly sandwich. Both were excellent and exceeded expectations. Fernando’s son helped me each time and he was great. They have red and green hot sauce options, red being more spicy, both were fresh tasting. Prices are very fair for the portions you get. I came back with cash as a tip because I was not presented with the option on the card reader. Located at the big lots parking lot by rite aid. I think their hours are more closely aligned with 9am-6pm. Thanks for a days worth of meals!

Service was friendly with a smile. Prices were fair and the food was outstanding! Fresh and made to order. The steak burrito was so big and stuffed with lots of delicious steak. The Gordita and tacos were also excellent. Definitely some of the best food around. We drive an hour for it and will do so again.

Probably the best tacos I've ever had and the chicken gordita is legitimately one of the best things I've ever eaten. I've eaten at many fine dining establishments and this man's food truck is just as good. Will be returning asap. Please do yourself a favor and come see Fernando
